Chapter 225 shaken
The night in the room was late, but it didn't make it any easier because of Lian Zixin's departure, on the contrary, it became more irritable.
Ever since she found out the truth, she felt that Lian Zixin was trying to overwhelm her. It's fine if he can't help with anything, but now he has to keep holding him back. She was really worried now, because what Lian Zixin said made her father suspicious.
However, for the time being, she still can't act rashly. Otherwise, if her father didn't suspect her, she would have exposed her own flaws, then she would be really stupid.
As for the mother, she is not worried. Mother was very indulgent towards Lian Zixin. He never doubted Lian Zixin's actions.
Now she is most worried about Ye An'an. Because she didn't know who Ye An'an really was, and how much she knew about the events of that year. She didn't even understand what Ye An'an's actions were all about.
For her, the unknown is the scariest thing.
She also thought about sending someone to investigate Ye An'an and find out who she is. However, in the end the idea was dismissed. Because Ye An'an is now Huangfu Ling's fiance, if her behavior is discovered by members of the Huangfu family, then no matter what kind of explanation is given, it may not be convincing. If one is not good, it may even cause a rift between the two families. At that time, she will really become a sinner of the Ye family.
Thinking of this, Yewan made a decision in her heart, that is, she must advance the marriage with the Murong family as soon as possible. Only by being tied to the Murong family can her position in the Ye family be more stable.
On the other side, the atmosphere among Huangfu Ruiling and the others can be considered harmonious, at least it can be said that the host and guest had a good time. However, before lunch was about to finish, Ye Hongxuan thought of a way to get Lian Mengzhu out.
After waiting for Lian Mengzhu to leave the private room, Ye Hongxuan looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an, without beating around the bush, and said directly, "Patriarch Huangfu, Miss Ye, what is the purpose of the lunch you invited today?"
Huangfu Ruiling didn't answer, but Ye Leng'an smiled faintly, and said, "Master Ye, what do you mean? Could it be that we invite you to dinner for some reason? Maybe, you think, there is something about you that we covet?"
"I didn't mean that," Ye Hongxuan explained, "It's just that I don't think so. Miss Ye, Ming people don't speak secretly, and I don't think there is any need to cover up."
"Actually, I really don't have anything to say." Ye Leng'an looked at Ye Hongxuan with a half-smile, and then said, "However, Patriarch Ye, don't you think that your wife's sister really cares about your daughter too much?"
"Didn't my wife tell you the reason?" Ye Hongxuan immediately became vigilant, "Besides, it's a good thing that one more person loves my daughter."
"Hehe," Ye Leng'an smiled, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "It's good that Master Ye has his own ideas. I just found it strange, so I said that. Especially today, the tone of reproach of Mrs. Ye's sister really doesn't look like an aunt!"
"Speaking of which, Miss Ye and Patriarch Ye don't look very much alike, but rather Madam Ye!"
"Indeed, Wanwan looks more like my wife." Apart from vigilance, Ye Hongxuan's doubts also deepened.
"No wonder." Ye Leng'an looked suddenly enlightened, "No wonder I think Miss Ye and your wife's sister look more alike! It is indeed common for nieces to look like aunts!"
After hearing such words, Ye Hongxuan always felt a vague guess in his heart. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was not very possible. However, even so, a seed called doubt was still planted deep in his heart.
Next, Ye Hongxuan did not continue to ask the bottom line. He has already seen that the person who is leading this time is Ye An'an. However, obviously, the other party wanted to tell him something, but he refused to say it directly. Therefore, even if he continued to question, it was useless.
Soon, Lian Mengzhu came back.
After lunch, a group of four returned to the competition square again.
It's almost time for the last competition to start, so there's no need to keep running around.
After Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu returned to the square, they first went to the inner room to take a look at Ye Wan.
Seeing his parents push the door and walk in, Yewan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said, "Father, mother, why did you come here at this time?"
"Let's take a look at you!" Lian Mengzhu sat down directly by Yewan's bed, then stretched out his hand, touched Yewan's pale cheeks, and said with some distress, "Your complexion is still not very good, otherwise, let's forget about the competition in the afternoon!"
"No." Yewan's attitude was very firm, "Mother, I have already reached this point, I can't stop at the last step. Moreover, even if I have to lose, I will lose upright, and it is absolutely impossible to run away."
After hearing Yewan's words, Lian Zixin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Ye Hongxuan took a step forward and signaled Lian Mengzhu to get out of the way, then he sat down and began to feel Yewan's pulse.
A moment later, he looked at Yewan and said, "Wanwan, although you have taken the healing elixir, your injury is not serious, and you haven't healed at all. Even if you are on stage, you can't win. Huangfu Changmao's cultivation base is higher than yours, even if you are not injured, you can't beat him, let alone you now"
"Father, I know you want to persuade me, but I insist on playing," Yewan insisted, "So, you don't have to say anything."
Looking at Yewan's stubborn appearance, Ye Hongxuan couldn't help sighing, "You really don't know who you are like with your temper!"
If in the past, Yewan would have acted like a baby to Ye Hongxuan and said that he was like his father when he heard such words.
However, now that she knew her life experience, Yewan felt guilty for a moment when she heard such words again. She could only lower her head and remain silent.
Ye Hongxuan looked at the silent Yewan, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he continued, "Since you are so persistent, then we can't say anything more. But, Wanwan, I still want to tell you a word. Wait a minute, if you are really no match, then just admit defeat!"
Listening to Ye Hongxuan's caring words, Ye Wanwan nodded, feeling moved, "Father, I understand. Don't worry! I'm not a child anymore, I just need to do what I should do."
Ye Hongxuan nodded.
However, when he looked at Ye Wan, he couldn't help but think of what Ye An'an had said. For some reason, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Yewan and Lian Zixin really looked alike.
"Father, what's wrong?" Sensing Ye Hongxuan's eyes, Yewan felt a little strange, "Is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking at me like this!"
I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience. When facing her father's gaze, she always feels a little flustered in her heart, as if she has been seen through.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Wanwan has really grown up." Ye Hongxuan smiled and shook his head, "I think back then, you were just such a small dumpling, but now you have grown into a big girl. You really are a girl!"
He felt that he was probably really crazy, to be shaken by Ye An'an's words. It seems that I should be too tired recently, otherwise I wouldn't be so easily influenced.
"Yes!" Lian Mengzhu smiled and said, "In a blink of an eye, Wanwan has become a big girl. In a few years, maybe she will get engaged."
Although in the hidden world, no one gets married too early. After all, with such a long lifespan, even if you get married later, it won't matter. Moreover, compared with the important matter of marriage, everyone pays more attention to cultivation.
However, this does not prevent a marriage contract. Especially these big families, in order to join forces, they will make marriage contracts early when they meet the right time. Then when the marriageable age is reached, marriage is discussed again.
Once a marriage contract is made, it is absolutely impossible to change it at will. After all, that represents the face and commitment of the two families. Therefore, in many cases, the promise of making a marriage contract is more binding than the marriage in the world.
"Mother." After hearing Lian Mengzhu's words, Yewan couldn't help but blushed, and said shyly, "What are you talking about! I'm still young, so I don't need to think about these things."
"You're not young anymore." Lian Mengzhu shook his head with a smile, and then joked, "It's not too early to make a marriage contract, and you don't want to get married right away. Besides, didn't you still pester us before, asking us to agree to your marriage with Huangfu Ruiling?"
Speaking of this, Lian Mengzhu stopped immediately. She also realized that she had said something wrong, she shouldn't have mentioned Huangfu Ruiling at this time. Especially now that Wanwan has put down Huangfu Ruiling and is planning to accept Murong Xingrui.
"Wanwan, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." Lian Mengzhu quickly explained.
"Mother, don't worry, I don't care about Huangfu Ruiling's affairs for a long time." Yewan smiled and continued, "So, you don't have to be taboo in front of me."
"It's best if you can think about it." Ye Hongxuan nodded, and then said, "If you really like Murong Xingrui, then after the family competition is over, Murong Jingming and I will discuss your matters together."
